A Persistent Squirrel
Sunday, February 10, 2008

The cold, extremely windy weather seemed to have the birds keeping under cover today... we only spotted a few juncos and bluejays at the feeder. But this furry fellow showed up and did his best to get a free meal... despite Ann and I chasing him away four times.



It was actually quite impressive watching him hang from a branch by his hind legs while he grabbed seeds from the feeder - at one point he was hanging on by one back foot!







I guess we should be happy that it's only one squirrel, and not an entire swarm of them!
